So it begins

I picked up my bar prep books yesterday, and started reading through the assignment that I'm supposed to complete before the first day of class.  The assignment will take about three to four full days to complete.  I was a little concerned that picking up a 25 lb. box of books would do nothing but frighten me into a studying frenzy, but actually, it's made me feel better.  Sure, it's a slightly intimidating pile of nine books, and it may not be possible to completely read and absorb everything in them in the next two and a half months, but hopefully I've retained at least a little bit after three years of law school.  Also, I know a few clowns who managed to pass the test, and know that if they can do it, I can too.  

So far, I haven't procrastinated with getting started like I worried I would.  However, as soon as I picked up the book again today, I felt a sudden urge to go rearrange my room and finish cleaning it after the mess of finals and graduation so that it's more conducive to studying at my desk.  I also have to put the kitchen table back in the kitchen, since I again dragged it into the living room by the window to finish my bar application.  Tomorrow I'm off to New York for a scoping trip.  I'll let you know on Monday what I decide.
